Juneau

After all hopes of going sledding were dashed Mom decided to just stay in our suite and enjoy the sites from our verandah. Dad and I decided to venture out into town. We spent several hours walking around looking at all of the touristy stores. It's too bad these towns have been so commercialized. The views are truly the best part. We got back on the ship in time for me to get to the spa. I scheduled a wonderful deep tissue massage - it was just what I needed. Mom and Dad stayed in the room enjoying a cocktail. I came back and opted for some champagne out of our bar. We all sort of skipped lunch, so we had our butler bring some canapés - shrimp, caviar, and some hummus. We had dinner reservations in the Italian restaurant, La Terrazza, that featured the region of Tuscany. We bad a fantastic meal (of course) that included antipasti, Prosecco, several other courses and the best part - veal scalopinni. It was incredible. There was still some time before the evening show, so we went to the bar to listen to some music. At 10:00 pm they had The Liars Club where we had to figure out who was telling the truth. The cruise director David again joined us and we spent a while talking with him. By 12:30 am it was time to call it a day.Sent from my iPhone

Next stop, the Panama Canal! We will be leaving from Florida to head through the Panama Canal and up the west coast of Central America, Mexico, and finally arrive in Los Angeles in time to come home for Christmas.
